In 1887 there was published, by authority of the State of New York, a volume entitled "Journals of the Military Ex- pedition of Maj. Gen. John Sullivan Against the Six Nations of Indians." From that volume, and from some other sources, the writer of this has recently gleaned the following interesting facts (additional to those printed on pages 23 and 24, ante) relative to the slaying of Captain Davis and Lieu- tenant Jones, and their burial.
These two officers, Corporal Butler, and four private sol- diers had left the main body of Major Powell's detachment on the 23d of April, in order to shoot at some deer reported to have been seen; and it was then that the men were "scalped, tomahawked and speared by the savages, fifteen or twenty in number." The dead soldiers were hastily buried by their surviving comrades where they had fallen, and over the

631
grave of Captain Davis there was set up a board bearing this inscription : "The place' where Capt. Davis was murdered by the Savages April 23d 1779." At the grave of Lieuten- ant Jones there was also placed a board, which was smeared with his blood and had inscribed upon it, "The blood of Lt. Jones."
After the re-interment, with Masonic ceremonies, of the bodies of Davis and Jones in the Wilkesbarré burial-ground, there was erected over the double-grave a red stone slab, which had been prepared by Forest and Story, two soldiers in Sullivan's army. This slab had chiseled upon it certain Masonic symbols, and the following inscription : "In mem- ory of Capt. J. Davis of the 11th Penna. Regt. also Lieut. William Jones who were massacred by the savages on their march to the relief of the distressed inhabitants of Wyoming April 23, 1779. Erected by the Brotherhood July 25, the same year." (July 25th had probably been selected as the day for the performance of the interesting and solemn ser- vices, but for some reason there was a postponement to the 28th.)
A good many years later, at the instance of Bro. Geo. M. Hollenback, of Wilkesbarré, the old stone was replaced by the marble slab which now stands over the remains of the two officers in Hollenback Cemetery, the inscription upon which is as printed on page 24, ante, with the exception of the word "murdered" in the second line, which should be " massacred."
In the Summer of 1896 Mrs. Martha Bennett Phelps of Wilkesbarré, daughter of the late Hon. Ziba and Hannah (Slocum) Bennett (see page 630, ante), erected, near her Summer residence on the Wilkesbarré Mountain, a substantial monument to mark the spot where Captain Davis and his companions fell. The monument bears upon one face this inscription : "Near this spot April 23, 1779, Captain Davis, Lieutenant Jones, Corporal Butler and two privates belong-
632
ing to the advance guard of the expedition under Maj. Genl. John Sullivan were scalped, tomahawked and speared by the Indians. Their bodies were buried here. Those of the two officers were re-interred in Wilkesbarre July 29, 1779." Upon another face of the monument are these words : "This stone is given to the care of the Sons of the Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution of Wilkesbarré, Penn'a." September 12th, 1896, the monument was dedi- cated by interesting ceremonies, in the presence of a large assemblage of invited guests.
PETER GRUBB, who was one of the charter members and the first Junior Warden of LODGE 61, was born in 1754, but where I have not been able to learn. I think he was of Ger- man descent. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary army and, as near as can be ascertained, settled in Wilkesbarré in 1789. In the Winter of 1789-'90 he was keeping a store there, and was a private in the 3d Company (Wm. Ross, Captain,) of the Ist Battalion of Luzerne county militia, com- manded by Lt. Col. Matthias Hollenback. In the Summer of 1790 he removed to Kingston township, where he owned land adjoining the Plymouth township line (about where the Borough of Edwardsville is now located); and in the Fall of that year he was elected one of the Justices of the Peace for the 3d District of Luzerne county (Plymouth, Kingston, and Exeter townships). This office he held for several years.
In 1793 he purchased of Arnold Colt and others land in Plymouth township, separated from his lands in Kingston only by the road leading from Kingston to what is now Larksville. About this time he erected, near where he lived, a grist-mill and a saw-mill on Toby's creek. A branch of this creek, in Plymouth, was for a long time known as "Grubb's mill brook." In 1793 he was a Commissioner of Luzerne county. About 1794 he was married to Sarah Gallup of Kingston (born in New London county, Conn.,
633
March 4th, 1772). She and her twin sister Hannah (who became the wife, first, of Israel Skeer, and, second, of Aseph Jones) were the youngest children of Capt. William Gallup (born 1723 ; died 1803) and his wife Judith. Captain Gallup came from Connecticut to Wyoming in July, 1772, in which year he purchased a "settling right" in Kingston from Isaac Tripp; but he did not bring his family on from Connecticut until 1773. Sarah and Hannah Gallup were in Forty Fort when it was surrendered after the battle of July 3d, 1778. Hallet Gallup (born 1755; died 1804) was the eldest child of William and Judith Gallup, and therefore the brother-in- law of Peter Grubb, and was initiated into LODGE 61 No- vember 21st, 1798.
Peter Grubb died January 23d, 1807, and was buried in the Gallup burial-ground in the village of Kingston. He was survived by several children, and by his wife Sarah, who, May 9th, 1809, became the (second) wife of Agur Hoyt, younger brother of "Deacon" Daniel Hoyt (see page 334, ante). Agur, who was a native of Danbury, Conn., lived in Kingston, Penn'a, from 1807 to 1812. He died in Norwalk, Ohio, November 30th, 1836, and was survived by his wife, who lived until past eighty years of age.
LEE. The residence referred to on page 379, ante, as having been built by Colonel Lee, was for a number of years the property of J. D. L. Harvey, from whom it was pur- chased by Washington Lee, Jr. The latter having re- modeled and enlarged the house, occupied it with his fam- ily for some time, and then it passed into the possession of Colonel Lee.
LODGE-ROOM. The Lodge removed from the First Na- tional Bank Building, on the south side of the Public Square, to the rooms on the third floor of the Cady Block, 49 South Main street, early in April, 1889; the first meeting being
634
held there on the 15th of that month. Upon the erection of the Laning Building on the west side of the Public Square, arrangements were made for accommodations there, and January 5th, 1891, the first meeting of the Lodge was held in the new rooms. All the regular Masonic bodies now working in Wilkesbarré occupy these rooms.
LL. D. The abbreviation standing for the literary degree of Doctor of Laws, which is affixed to the names of Brothers Conyngham, Gibson, and Mallery, on their respective por- traits herein, was printed L. L. D. by the printer connected with the establishment where the portraits were made; and this was done after every possible effort had been made by the writer to avoid an error of that sort.
MINER. According to the published "Records of the State of Connecticut" (I .: 459), it was voted November 27th, 1777, by the Governor and Council of Safety, "That Ensign Seth Miner and the fifteen men ordered by Brig. General Tyler to keep guard at Lyme [New London county] be dis- missed from said service, and ordered that the selectmen of Lyme raise a guard when necessary."
After the War of the Revolution Seth Miner commanded a company of militia, and thus gained the title of captain, by which he was called as long as he lived.
On page 475, ante, the writer has stated that the name of the wife of William P. Miner was Elizabeth Dewart. This statement was based upon an inscription on the Miner monu- ment in Hollenback Cemetery, and upon certain memoranda in the writer's possession. It now appears that the lady's surname was Liggett.
THE OLDEST LIVING MEMBERS AND PAST MASTERS OF LODGE 61. Of the present active members of the Lodge the oldest, in order of admission to the Fraternity, is Bro.
.
635
SIMON LONG of Wilkesbarré. He was born at Pretzfeldt, in Bavaria, Germany, August 8th, 1827. In 1846 he immi- grated to this country, arriving at New York on July 3d of that year. A few days later he proceeded to Wilkesbarré, where his brothers Martin and Marx had located in 1839. (Martin Long was initiated into LODGE 61 May 6th, 1844. He died a good many years ago in Wilkesbarré. Marx Long is still living.) Simon Long was employed as a clerk in a store in Wilkesbarré for about a year prior to Novem- ber Ist, 1847, and then, upon that date, he began business for himself. For over fifty years he has been identified with the mercantile interests of Wilkesbarré, although about three years ago he retired from active business and the manage- ment of his large clothing store. He is well known in this community as a man of wealth, good business methods, and upright character.
He was initiated into LODGE 61 September 22d, 1851. The same year (on March 17th) he was married to Miss Jette Coons, of Wilkesbarré. They became the parents of ten children, nine of whom are now living. The sixth child is Dr. Charles Long of Wilkesbarré, who was initiated into LODGE 61 April 18th, 1893.
Bro. ALEXANDER FARNHAM of Wilkesbarre is the next oldest active member of the Lodge, having been initiated February 27th, 1855. He was born at Carbondale, Luzerne (now Lackawanna) county, Penn'a, January 12th, 1834, the son of John P. and Mary F. (Steere) Farnham. He was educated at the Madison Academy, Waverly, Penn'a, and the Wyoming Seminary, Kingston. He was admitted to the Bar of Luzerne county January 13th, 1855. From 1874 to 1877 he was District Attorney of Luzerne county, and to-day he is, as he has been for some years, one of the lead- ers of the Bar. In 1865 he was married to Miss Augusta Dorrance, a daughter of the late Rev. John Dorrance, D. D., who was for twenty-eight years pastor of the First Presby-
636
terian Church of Wilkesbarre. Mr. and Mrs. Farnham have two sons and one daughter.
The oldest living Past Master of the Lodge is Bro. DAVID MORDECAI of Baltimore, Md. He was born at Charleston, S. C., November 28th, 1818. In May, 1847, he removed from Charleston to Wilkesbarré, where his brother and Oliver B. Hillard (both formerly of Charleston) were en- gaged in business. In that year the large brick block at the north-east corner of Main and Union streets, and the mill on Union street, were built by Hillard & Mordecai. David Mordecai superintended the erection of these buildings, and the business of the firm until 1849, when, his brother having sold out his interest in the business to Mr. Hillard and re- turned to South Carolina, he (David) went into the coal mining business. In this he continued-being one of the principal individual operators in the Wyoming Valley- until he left Wilkesbarré in 1865 to reside in Baltimore. In that city he has made his home ever since. For the past five years he has been totally blind; but, although he is nearly seventy-nine years of age, his general health is good, his mind is clear and active, and his disposition happy.
He was initiated into LODGE 61 April 9th, 1855, and was Worshipful Master in 1863. He was one of the original members of Shekinah R. A. Chapter-receiving his degrees on the 13th and 14th of February, 1856.
Brother Mordecai's wife died in Wilkesbarré in 1864, leaving three sons and one daughter.
The next oldest Past Master of "61" is Bro. THERON BUR- NET of Wilkesbarré. He was born at Fishkill, Dutchess county, N. Y., April 12th, 1817. Having learned the trade of a tinsmith in Brooklyn, N. Y., he came to Wilkesbarré in March, 1844, to work at his trade. April Ist, 1846, he established a shop of his own, and thenceforward, for twenty- seven years, carried on in Wilkesbarré the tinware and stove business-retiring from active business in 1873. Brother
637
Burnet was initiated into LODGE 61 April 10th, 1854, and after serving as Junior Warden in 1863, and Senior Warden in 1864, was Worshipful Master in 1865. He was one of the original members of Shekinah R. A. Chapter-receiving his degrees on the 13th and 14th of February, 1856-and was High Priest of the Chapter in 1863 and '4.
Brother Burnet's wife died in 1885. He has one daugh- ter, who is the wife of J. E. Patterson of Wilkesbarré.
PAST MASTER'S JEWEL. (See frontispiece.) At a largely attended meeting of the Lodge December 18th, 1894, the officers of the Lodge were duly installed into their respect- ive stations for the ensuing Masonic year, by District Dep- uty Grand Master William D. White. Then Bro. Charles D. Foster, in behalf of the Lodge, presented to each of the following named Past Masters (by service) of the Lodge an elegant Past Master's jewel :
George Urquhart. John Laning.
Stewart L. Barnes.
Alex. E. Winlack.
Isaac Livingston.
Frank N. Finney.
Olin F. Harvey.
Sam. F. Wadhams.
John B. Quick.
Lewis B. Landmesser.
John W. Gilchrist.
Steuben J. Polen.
The Brethren then sat down to a banquet, which was fol- lowed by music, responses to toasts, etc.
Since that date the Lodge has presented a similar jewel to each of the other actual Past Masters of the Lodge in active membership. The jewel is of sterling silver, beauti- fully chased and engraved, while the various Masonic em- blems, "working-tools," etc., with which it is ornamented and enriched on the obverse, are of gold inlaid with black, blue and white enamels. There is an appropriate inscrip- tion upon the reverse. The jewel is suspended from a bar attached to a blue ribbon, at the other end of which is a second bar with a pin at the back. Between these two bars
638
is an ornamental slide or clasp, bearing the initials, in mon- ogram, of the particular Past Master to whom the decora- tion belongs. The bars and the slide are of gold.
RECEPTION TO BINGHAMTON (N. Y.) FREE MASONS. One of the largest assemblages of Masons seen in Wilkesbarré in recent years took place at Masonic Hall March 23d, 1892. The occasion was a reception tendered by Lodges 61 and 442 to Otseningo Lodge No. 435, F. & A. M., of Bingham- ton, N. Y. Forty-four members of that Lodge, and over two hundred Brethren from forty-one other Lodges were present, in addition to nearly two hundred members of the two Wilkesbarré Lodges. After the Master Mason's de- gree had been conferred upon two candidates at the Lodge- room, the Brethren proceeded in procession to Loomis Hall, where they partook of a banquet. Bro. Wm. S. McLean, P. M. of Lodge 442, presided, and after the gastronomic ex- ercises vocal and instrumental music was enjoyed, and toasts were responded to by the following Brethren : H. B. Payne, J. E. Bone and W. L. Raeder of Lodge 61 ; H. F. Turner of Lodge 177, and G. M. Colville of Lodge 435, Bingham- ton ; John M. Garman of Lodge 248, Tunkhannock ; John S. Harding of Lodge 442; Christian F. Knapp of Lodge 265, Bloomsburg. "The whole affair from beginning to end was highly creditable to all concerned in any way with the management, and will be long and pleasantly remembered by every participant."
ST. DOMINGO. Shortly after the article reprinted on pages 181-92, ante, appeared in the Magazine of American His tory, Bro. Sidney Hayden, 33º, wrote the author : " Your magazine article is valuable, as it gives the fact of Boyer being a Mason, which I did not know before; and the Con- necticut incidents relating to him as such, are new to me."
In its issue of February 28th, 1885, The Keystone (Phila-
639
delphia), then edited by Bro. Clifford P. MacCalla, after- wards R. W. Gd. Master of Pennsylvania, in noticing the magazine article said, referring to the "Boyer" charter : "Nei- ther the source from which this charter emanated, nor the body to which it was sent, possesses any interest to us [Penn- sylvania Masons]." The author prepared an answer to this statement and sent it to Brother MacCalla, who thanked him for it and printed it in the Keystone of March 21st, 1885. The following paragraphs are from it, and are apro- pos :
* "The Grand Orient, or Grand Lodge, of France in 1774, and thereafter, was recognized by the regular Grand Bodies in Europe and America of that period. Many prominent members of the Fraternity who visited this country from 1776 to 1800 had been made Free Ma- sons in Lodges chartered by the Grand Orient of France, of which the Duke de Luxembourg was Grand Master. These same French Ma- sons were fraternally received, and visited regular Lodges in Pennsyl- vania and other jurisdictions. The probabilities are that the warrant I hold was granted to a Lodge of free colored men-mulattoes.
In February, 1786, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania granted a warrant for a Lodge at Cape François, St. Domingo. September 6th, 1790, another warrant was granted by our Grand Lodge for a Lodge at Cape François, and numbered 49-but this Lodge was never con- stituted. December 15th, 1800, a third warrant was granted by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania for a Lodge at Cape François, the reg- istry number of which was 87, and the name 'Les Frères Reunis'- which being translated means 'The Reunited Brothers.' This Lodge conferred degrees above the first three, and worked for several years .* Do not the name and the date of this Lodge and warrant become sig- nificant when considered in connection with the name of the Lodge- 'Frères Choisis'-set forth in the 'Boyer' charter ?"
* The following paragraph is from a copy of an original parchment which, many years ago, was in the possession of Calvin Fay, Esq., of Atlanta, Ga. The document was dated and sealed July roth, 1803. " HOLINESS TO THE LORD! We the three chiefs whose names are hereunto subscribed do certify, that in a Chapter of the H .: R .: A .: convened and held under the sanction and authority of the warrant of the Worshipful Lodge No. 87 of Cape François of ANCIENT YORK MASONS, called Les Frères Rèunis, our beloved Brother François Car-

STATISTICS. The following information has been furnished the author by Bro. the Hon. Josiah H. Drummond, 33º, of Portland, Me., one of the leading and best-known Masonic authorities in this country. (In connection herewith see statistics on page 101, ante.)
"No. of Grand Lodges in the United States (March, 1897), 50 No. of Subordinate Lodges, . 11,400
No. of affiliated Masons, · 750,000
No. of non-affiliated Masons, about . · 150,000 New York is the largest Grand Lodge, having under its jurisdiction 90,000 members of Subordinate Lodges.
Illinois comes next, with 52,000 Free Masons.
Pennsylvania is next, with 428 Lodges having a member- ship of 49,589.
Arizona is the smallest, having only 600 members.
In the Dominion of Canada there are 7 Grand Lodges, with
about 600 Subordinate Lodges having a membership of 36,000."
The present active membership of LODGE 61 is 202. In 1895 fourteen new members were admitted into the Lodge, and in 1896 twenty-nine-with one exception (thirty-eight in 1855) the largest number ever admitted in one year.
CAPT. GEORGE SYTEZ. I regret that I am able to give but little information relative to this Brother, who was the first Worshipful Master of LODGE 61. I sought in many places for the biographical data that I wanted, but the results were meagre and very unsatisfactory.
Nicholas Fish, Esq., Secretary of the New York State
rere, merchant taylor, born at Brignamont (France) 33 years of age, having delivered to us the proper certificates and proved himself by due examination to be well qualified in all the three degrees of Ap- prentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason, and to have passed the Chair, was admitted by us to the Sup .: degree of Exc .: ROYAL ARCH MASON."

Society of the Cincinnati, informs me that " George Sytez, Captain Ist N. Y. Reg't," was one of the original members of that society, the records of which show that he was "ap- pointed Second Lieutenant in the 2d New York Reg't, Con- tinental Infantry-Colonel Van Schaick's-in 1775, and went with it through the Canada campaign. He does not appear to have been included in the consolidation of the Line at Quebec, made April 15th, 1776, by Brig. Gen. David Wooster, who was then in command after the death of General Montgomery .* Having been mentioned in a re- port of General Schuyler's as 'a very good Adjutant,' Sytez was, on November 26th, 1776, appointed Adjutant of the 3d New York Regiment, commanded by Col. Peter Gansevoort. In this position he served until May 28th, 1778, when he was promoted Captain-Lieutenant."
From December Ist, 1778, to March 15th, 1779, he was with his regiment in winter quarters at Albany, N. Y. The regiment took part in the Sullivan expedition of 1779, but did not come to Wyoming. January 7th, 1780, Sytez was promoted Captain of the 2d Company, vice De Witt, re- signed, and January Ist, 1781, he was transferred from the 3d to the Ist N. Y. Reg't. He served until June, 1783, when he was mustered out. In the official list of " officers of the Continental Army who acquired the right to half-pay, commutation, and bounty land under Acts of Congress passed between 1776 and 1790," "George Sytez, Ist N. Y.," appears as Major.
I have not been able to learn when Captain Sytez located in the Wyoming Valley, where he resided while here, or what business or occupation he followed. It is certain that he was here in May, 1792, and that, probably, he resided in Kingston. When or where he was made a Free Mason it seems impossible to ascertain. It is evident, from the word-
* See pages 363-5, ante.
642
ing of Article I. of the By-Laws of LODGE 61 adopted March 6th, 1794, that Captain Sytez, then serving as Master of the Lodge, was a Past Master Mason. He withdrew from the Lodge June 6th, 1796, and doubtless left this locality soon thereafter. According to the records of the Society of the Cincinnati he "died on the Susquehanna in 1819."
WRIGHT. Through a slip of his pen, or something else, the writer has used the Christian name "Thomas" for "Wil- liam" on page 428, ante, in the fourth line from the bottom; and again, in the fourth line of the foot-note on page 429.
